- Zapier

- Notion

- HockeyStack

- Drip

- GPT-3

- Apollo.io

I would suggest learning how to do marketing, writing down an excruciatingly detailed process (on Notion), and then automating a part of it while delegating the rest to freelancers.

Though, to delegate as much as possible, you will need a good amount of capital.

Interesting list. Would you be willing to add in edits on what you use each one for?

For example, Zapier "moves things between web apps." Is that an ETL as a service? What is it E'ing, T'ing and L'ing, though?

Zapier is useful for integrating common tools (slack, drive, asana, etc etc) but would not be a good choice for most nontrivial ETL, or nontrivial any kind of integration.

Eg, you want a slack notification when a Google form is filled out. Pretty painless to set up a zap.

You want to keep a database table up to date with a Google sheet. You can do it on zapier, but it's gonna be a pain.

Integromat is cheaper and better than Zapier, IMO.
